of <code>===</code>s found. Merge conflict or intended as a commented
border?</h2>
<h3 id="problematic-code">Problematic code:</h3>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb1"><pre class="sourceCode sh"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span id="cb1-1"><a href="SC2273.html#cb1-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="ex">=======</span></span></code></pre></div>
<h3 id="correct-code">Correct code:</h3>
<p>Either resolve the merge conflict, or use <code># =======</code> for
a border</p>
<h3 id="rationale">Rationale:</h3>
<p>ShellCheck found a series of <code>=======</code>s. If this was
supposed to be a border or separator, use a comment.</p>
<p>However, it could also be left behind from a source control merge
conflict:</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb2"><pre class="sourceCode sh"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span id="cb2-1"><a href="SC2273.html#cb2-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="op">&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;</span> HEAD</span>
<span id="cb2-2"><a href="SC2273.html#cb2-2" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="bu">echo</span> <span class="st">&quot;Goodbye World&quot;</span></span>
<span id="cb2-3"><a href="SC2273.html#cb2-3" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="ex">=======</span></span>
<span id="cb2-4"><a href="SC2273.html#cb2-4" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="bu">echo</span> <span class="st">&quot;Hello World!&quot;</span></span>
<span id="cb2-5"><a href="SC2273.html#cb2-5" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"></a><span class="op">&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</span> mybranch</span></code></pre></div>
<p>In this case, make sure the merge conflict is correctly resolved, and
all the markers removed.</p>
